Y'know... Important Stuff

October, 2008

In October of 2008, Our Lady of the Pillar Parish became the first parish in the history of the world to purchase “Stirring It Up” as a primary text for all 7th graders in their Confirmation program. The Confirmation program is taught using the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and Paul’s book will be used alongside the curriculum. Every 7th grader has received a copy of “Stirring It Up”, along with the audio CD “Stirring It Up More”, while their parents received the copy of “All Bottled Up”.

It was decided that due to the PG-13 nature of “All Bottled Up”, parents should use their discretion when to share it with their kids. In the meantime, parents have been encouraged to read this volume to discover the myriad of issues that their teens are facing (or will be facing) as they journey through adolescence. Christy, their Confirmation Coordinator, is developing a discussion guide to go with “Stirring It Up”. If you are interested in a copy of this discussion guide, please email paul@reapteam.org.
